I'm currently a student in Nashville, and was on campus during the flooding! It was SCARY. My mom and I managed to drive out of the city okay on Monday, but that was north of Nashville... everywhere else got POUNDED. Driving away, it was just so scary to see all these buildings underwater, and with the Opry flooded, I swear, I cried so hard.
One of my good friends was trying to drive home to Atlanta and lost his van and everything in it. One of my lovely sisters has friends who lost their homes and all their things because of the flooding. It is *terrible* and it is absolutely appalling to me that the only news coverage this gets is when country music stars lose their stuff. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN NASHVILLE.
*sigh*
I love Nashville so much. This is where I moved for school and it is one of the most beautiful and wonderful cities I have ever been in. It hurts to see it drowning like this and have NO ONE covering it.
